How I create things in my kiln, and what eventually happens to what I create...
Glass goes in the kiln, and glass comes out, quite altered! Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. That's what happens in life.

Margaret's birthday present
My daughter, Margaret, is having a birthday in a couple of days. She lives in an old, Victorian-style shotgun house in the Midwest, with 10' ceilings and original wide plank hardwood floors. There are transoms above some of the doorways and a high, narrow window on one wall in the living room. This is where this window will go. The room receives very little light from this window because of the overhanging pine trees in the neighbor's yard; thus, the clear "crackle" background glass. There is a yellow agate slice hanging in the limbs of the tree.
The window is 40.5" long x 16.5" tall and is copper foiled. I ran out of solder today which is exasperating because I was only able to solder the front side of the glass. Backside, with re-bar, will be done when my solder shipment arrives.

Beautiful! I bet it is breathtaking when the sun comes through it!
ReplyDeleteIt is quite colorful in "real life." Photos don't do it justice.
